Busy day for SFD and SPD in north Seattle

The Seattle Police and Fire Departments haven’t had much rest today. Around 1:30pm, SFD got the alert that the Motel Georgian on Aurora at 88th was on fire. The motel was damaged, but a tweet from the fire department said that there were no injuries. We’re still unaware of the cause.

Just about an hour later, around 2:30, a motor vehicle accident was called in where Ashworth Ave N and Kenwood Ave N intersect with East Green Lake Way N. Traffic headed northeast was diverted up to Woodlawn Ave N while the scene was cleared. Police opened the road again a little after 3pm.
